Cut Your Carbon Challenge
Remember to take part in our Carbon Challenge over the holidays! Oscar told me today that he's already done a 'Device Free Day' and his mum always does the washing at 30C! Well done to Oscar and his family.
Please complete the six challenges at home with your family in December. When we come back to school in January, we’ll count up how many of you joined in, add up the estimated carbon saved, and celebrate your amazing efforts! Let’s help our planet -one small step at a time!
